University of St. Thomas Community College The University of St. Thomas is a comprehensive university that prepares students for the complexities of the contemporary world. Rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition, students are taught to think critically, act wisely and work skillfully to advance the common good. Students transferring from a community or technical college should understand that completing the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) or an Associate s degree would not directly fulfill St. Thomas core requirements. Instead, incoming credits will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis to determine whether they are direct equivalents to the University of St. Thomas curriculum. This guide is meant to assist students in selecting courses that will fulfill St. Thomas requirements, while also completing goal areas within the MnTC. St. Thomas Core Curriculum Requirements Literature and Writing 2 Courses Students enroll in two courses: First course: ENGL 121 Critical Thinking: Literature and Writing Second course (one of the following): ENGL 201 Texts in Conversation: Perspectives on Genre and Craft ENGL 202 Texts in Conversation: Interdisciplinary Perspectives ENGL 203 Texts in Conversation: Thematic and Intertextual Perspectives ENGL 20 Texts in Conversation: Perspectives on Language, Culture, and Literacy Moral and Philosophical Reasoning 2 Courses Students take two courses as follows: PHIL 115 Philosophy of the Human Person PHIL 21 or 215 Introductory Ethics Natural Science and Mathematical and Quantitative Reasoning 3 Courses Students select three courses as follows: One natural science with laboratory component One mathematics Additional natural science with laboratory component OR mathematics (MATH 11 Calculus II or higher) OR quantitative reasoning Faith and the Catholic Tradition 3 Courses Students select three courses as follows: Theology 101 One Theology course at the 200- or 300-level One Theology course as the 00-level 1 Course (courses fulfilling this requirement may also fulfill another core or core area requirement) Historical Studies 1 Course 1 Course (courses fulfilling this requirement may also fulfill another core or core area requirement) Language and Culture - 1 Intermediate-Level Language Course Students must complete the 111, 112, and 211 sequence in a particular language.

Minnesota Transfer Curriculum and Associate s Degree The Minnesota Transfer Curriculum meets the general education requirements for all public universities and colleges in Minnesota. To complete the MnTC, students must satisfy the requirements of each of the 10 goal areas with a minimum of 0 credits. (Note that some courses will count towards more than one goal, but the number of credits for those courses will only be counted once.) The associate s degree includes the MnTC, 1 Health course, 1 Exercise Science course, and electives in college-level courses. A total of 60 credits are required for the associate s degree, at least 20 of which must be completed at. Students must earn a minimum of a 2.0 cumulative GPA on both the MnTC courses and the associate s degree courses in order to graduate. A graduation application should be completed during the last semester of courses. Notes Students will be required to fulfill general education requirements as published in the catalog of the year they enroll at the University of St. Thomas. Only coursework in which the student earned a grade of C- or higher from a regionally accredited college/university will be recognized for credit at St. Thomas. St. Thomas requires 8 credits outside the major department (76 credits for business majors), and a total of 132 credits for graduation. Students must complete 32 of their last 36 credits at St. Thomas, as stated in the Senior Residency Requirement. Online courses are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
